WMI fILTER GPO on Server Name

[Kimono]

I'm trying to write a WMI filter to apply a GPO object only to server names
starting with specific characters, to capture our exchange servers. Does
anybody have a sample script I can try?

thanks

Try this link:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/6237b9b2-4a21-425e-8976-2065d28b31471033.mspx

You'll want to filter select * from Win32_ComputerSystem and look specify
the name you're looking for. You should be able to use a wildcard so you
only need one expression. If you do something similar to name = "Exch*"
then it would get all of your exchange servers if the name of your Exchange
servers were something like:
ExchDal01
ExchTor03
ExchAus01
Exchange42

Hope this helps

thanks for the tip. The wildcard doesn't seem to work. When I do

Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Name = "EXTEST"

the server named EXTEST picks up the policy. When I do
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Name = "EX*" the server extest
filters out the policy, as seen by gpresult.

Any clues?
